Georgetown Football Falls to Richmond

QUOTE
"We talk all season about playing quality games in November. Richmond is a good football team. At times, we played as well as we have all season but there were times that we made mistakes that have continued to hamper us in these tight ball games. When we play well and take care of the ball we are as good as anybody on our schedule. When we turn the ball over and don't play great situational football, we get the result that we had today. I am looking forward to honoring our 29 seniors as we would get back to work Monday here to finish the home season at Cooper Field against Fordham." -Rob Sgarlata on today's contest.
